Description

A CA-125 blood test measures levels of a protein called cancer antigen 125, which is found on ovarian cancer cells but also in normal tissues and other benign conditions. This test is used to monitor ovarian cancer during and after treatment, detect potential recurrence, evaluate high-risk individuals, and help diagnose symptoms of ovarian cancer. However, the CA-125 test is not a reliable screening tool for the general population because its levels can be affected by menstruation, pregnancy, and benign conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Uses of the CA-125 Test Monitoring Treatment: For patients with ovarian cancer, the test can show if treatment is working by tracking changes in CA-125 levels over time. Detecting Recurrence: It helps to monitor for the return of ovarian cancer after successful treatment. Screening High-Risk Individuals: It is used to look for early signs of ovarian cancer in people with a high risk, such as those with a strong family history of the disease or certain genetic mutations. Assessing Symptoms: It helps doctors investigate the cause of symptoms suggestive of ovarian cancer, such as persistent bloating, abdominal pain, or feeling full quickly. What the Test Measures The CA-125 test measures the concentration of CA-125, a protein (a type of glycoprotein) found on the surface of ovarian cancer cells, as well as in normal cells and various benign conditions. Limitations and When It's Not a Screening Tool Not for Screening: A single elevated CA-125 result does not necessarily mean cancer, and it is not recommended as a routine screening test for the general population. Other Conditions: Elevated CA-125 levels can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions like endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, pregnancy, and menstruation.
